INSTRUCTIONS
THREAD
For each forum, post a thread in response to the topic prompts provided. Yourpost should contain 400-500 words and adhere to AMA writing style guidelines.This word limit promotes writing that is thorough yet concise enough to permit your peers to read all the posts.
If the Discussion Board Forum prompts you to answer a series of questions, make sure you address all of them thoroughly within the word limit. Do not restate the questions in your post; simplybegina new paragraph for each new thought.
The goal is to have a seamless written argument closed by a brief conclusion tying together your individual responses. Use your best critical reasoning skills, employing the Universal Intellectual Standardsas a guide, but not a strict outline.
Refer to specific statements of the author(s) whenever appropriate but limit direct quotations to a maximum of 25 words for your entire post. Since this is a personal discussion, you may use first person; however, you should maintain professional decorum at all times.
• On the issue brief from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation entitled "Education and Health" 2011, located in the Reading Discussion Board Instructions before posting your thread.
• There appears to be a dose-response relationship between educational attainment and health-the more you get, the better it is. Why this is true is not clearly understood, though several reasonable hypotheses have been proposed. Describe the 3 interrelated pathways presented as explanations for this relationship in this brief. Which do you feel is the strongest? Why?
• According to data presented in the brief, "the United States is the only industrialized nation where young people currently are less likely than members of their parents' generation to be high-school graduates." What evidence is given to support this statement? Why do you think this situation exists? What will it take to correct it?
• As would be expected, parents' educational attainment is linked to their children's health and even their educational attainment. These linkages, in turn, influence the health and educational attainment of their children's children, as well, perpetuating an endless intergenerational cycle of high (or low) educational attainment and its associated better (or poorer) health.
How does this fit with the biblical understanding of multigenerational influence (Exodus 34:6-7)?
In what ways can the Church help interrupt the vicious cycle beginning with low educational attainment? Pray that God will use you to be a positive influence on your children in this area or on others whom God will bring across your path.

Derive the rejection region of the corresponding lrt
: Let X1, . . . , Xn be independent Gamma(2, ?) random variables. The goal is to test H0 : ? = 2 versus H1 : ? not equal to 2.

Find the power function of test
: To test H0 : ? = 10 versus H1 : ? > 10, a researcher wants to use the test 1[X(n) > 9.5], which rejects the null hypothesis for values of X(n) greater than 9.5.
